Design of a Class-J 1.35-1.75 GHz 150 W Power Amplifier with Bounded Performance Technique

This paper presents the design of a class-J 1.35-1.75 GHz 150 W Power Amplifier with bounded performance technique (BPT). The amplifier achieves 3-dB compression power higher than 150 W and 3-dB drain efficiency better than 70% over the band 1.35-1.75 GHz. This design demonstrates the effectiveness of BPT in the design of high-efficiency power amplifier.
